New Mattress

I bought a mattress yesterday at Slumberland in Iowa City. It kind of amazed me that I bought a mattress that same day. Maybe I made a choice to fast because I tried out only a few firm and luxury firm/plush mattresses and made my decision kind of rushed because they were closing at 6:00... 2o minutes at that time. Also, the other mattresses that I sort of liked were way in my price range but would be a lot more added on with the cost of delivery, box spring, and metal frame.

The first one the salesman showed us was a Sealy Posturepedic Firm mattress. I'd try out the luxury firm, which was okay, then some other high end firm mattresses but I'd always go back and try the Sealy Posturepedic. Even though the decision was a bit rushed and probably spurred on by the notion that the next day after they opened, the prices would go up (it was an extended labor day sale) I think I made a good decision. I am a little worried right now, but I think that's normal until I get the actual mattress on Saturday.

My main concern is that it looks like my old mattress. That's to say that the top of the mattress looks sort of... boring, and if you lay on it without sheets, it's sort of scratchy instead of soft... if that makes any sense. But I don't think that should matter really. It's not like I'll be sleeping without sheets and bed covers anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
